Leadership

The Central Minnesota Boy’s Choir leadership program is in its 14th successful year.  Boys are selected by the director to join the leadership team after displaying good leadership skills. The boys on the leadership team help with warm-ups, attendance, and organizational items during rehearsals and on tour.
